Depaul and Houston have had great teams in the past but they are by no means power-houses. They are also not media-crazed.

His average record is 23-14. That is not a bad record at a place like Depaul. Also in 7 seasons as a head coach he has 4 NCAA apearances including a Sweet 16. What is so odd is that if you look at his record at UK, he went 18-13 and got to the NCAA Tourney, his second season he went 22-14 and did NOT make the NCAA tournament. The record improved but he didn't go to the tourney.

I do not want him back at UK but I think he would do very well at Depaul and I think he could do GREAT at Houston.
18-13 and 22-14 wouldnt get it done at UK no matter who was coaching. Everybody got tired of the 10+ losses from Tubby and ran him out of town. People can say what they want about Tubby, but in my honest opinion I believe he is one of the top 10 X's and O's coaches in the country. Tubbys downfall was recruiting..Im with you though, I wouldnt want BCG at UK either...and I agree 100% with you on HOUSTON. Put him at Houston and they win 25+ games every single season. Im not sold on him at DePaul though. Thats a tough place to get Texas kids to come to, not to mention winning in the Big East at a school like DePaul would be tough for a top tier coach, much less BCG..keep him near the pipeline and he'll do good..
